670 million people - 10% of the world's population - are disadvantaged by poor vision and a lack of glasses. Vision Aid Overseas is an international charity dedicated to transforming access to eye care services in developing countries.
Their mission is to transform access to eye care services for people in developing countries by establishing Vision Centres, training healthcare workers and utilising the expertise of volunteers to undertake outreach programmes away from existing facilities. We collect used spectacles for the charity which are then sorted and labelled by volunteer prisoners. Charity No 1081695 - click for more information (web site)
